Hard to exactly make out your question, but as stated officially, Steam will stop supporting Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 in January of 2024. This is at least in part because the chromium based software that runs as part of the steam client will not longer work on those operating systems. Any steam games you have installed that do not require Steam DRM to run should still function fine through the game executables. Otherwise you will most likely lose access to them. Upgrading to windows 10 or 11, or switching to a recent version of Linux or MacOS should also enable you to enjoy most if not all of the games you are playing. I wonder if a person could run a windows 10 virtual machine on a windows 7 host...

I am sure this all falls under part of the EULA, probably a disclaimer that Valve bears no responsibility for the maintenance and updating of the end user machine.

Install Windows 10 or 11 in your PC, problem solved.
Most games which works on Windows 7, also work on Windows 10 or 11.

Windows 10 is already 8 years old, maybe it's time for you to upgrade /adopt.
If you can't adopt in 8 years, you won't be able to adopt in next 50 years.

No refunds for something that you still own. Your account will be available whenever you upgrade your os or change to Linux.

No refunds for something you've used for years, either. And that's true in basically every industry.

Look everyone! Another windows 7 user with broken English, poor grammar and no backbone whatsoever when it comes to anything PC related!

Windows 98 users didn't get any refunds.
Windows ME users didn't get any refunds.
Windows 2000 users didn't get any refunds.
Windows XP users didn't get any refunds.
Windows Vista didn't get any refunds.

Why do you think this time will be different?

This is the compromise you willingly made by purchasing your games on an online digital distribution platform. Valve will not freeze time for you so you can enjoy using your out-of-date operating system in perpetuity.

You have, and continue to have alternatives. GOG installers work even on Windows XP. Many Steam games are DRM free[www.pcgamingwiki.com], meaning you can download them now and save them to enjoy forever on your ancient OS. There are also DRM free games on Itch.io and Humble.

Steam, meanwhile, will continue to evolve and update as time marches on. You can update along with it and continue to enjoy your Steam library, or get left behind. Valve honestly doesn't care either way, and neither do most of us here. The choice is entirely yours to make.

@Harusp3x , i have over 75 Steam games and only 1 is DRM free - Enclave.

Between , in 100 years , no recent game would be playable . The CPU/GPU/RAM /OSs will be different . For instance 1024 bit CPU and etc.

90% of the Gog games are too old or garbage . I want to be happy and play any modern game i like . This exclude using Gog . There is no NFS , The Division , Guardians of The Galaxy and etc.

i have Gog just for their own games like Cyberpunk 2077 . Havent played it yet though . Also they dont torment people with 3DS2 requirement . But i have nearly abandoned the platform .

Emulation, compatibility layers, virtual machines, the old stuff will always be playable no matter how advanced technology gets.

And how, pray tell, do you expect to do that on Windows 7, especially going forward as tech continues to evolve. Also if you can run games like NFS, The Division, and Guardians of the Galaxy, you certainly have more than enough power to easily handle an actual up-to-date OS like Windows 10, 11, or pick your flavor of Linux.
